After a long, hard day at work, Edward Elric was walking back to his dorm with Alphonse. The day had been particularly un-eventful and bland(unless you counted the number of times the Colonel had accused him of his lack of height), and Edward was itching to go somewhere fun, or do something entertaining other than pull pranks on Mustang. It was at this moment that he noticed a rather colourful poster on someone's fence.
"Hmm, that attractively colored poster makes me want to look at it," Edward mumbled as he leant in to see what the poster was about.
The poster was advertising a new water park called "Corinna River SANDS", complete with hotels to stay in while staying at the park. Edward saw that at this new water park (apparently the size of a place called the UK, whatever that was) there was this long, flowing river on which visitors to the park could swim in, and near that there was a huge swimming pool in the shape of a bird. There was an orange circle around which people were swimming. Edward couldn't quite tell what it was but it looked like the people in the poster were having a good time.
"That water park looks like where I need to go for a break," Edward grinned before running back to Alphonse to tell him about the water park.
"...It looks like we can even stay at the park because there are hotels, and it all looks so fun, besides we need a break from researching every once in a while so let's go!" Edward finished gushing to his brother, panting. As soon as he got in, he greeted Alphonse with jumbles of sentences that Alphonse couldn't make out.
"Brother, calm down," Alphonse told his brother, "Say it again."
"Okay, I saw this cool poster about this huge water park which is opening up soon, and there are water rides and swimming pools! We can also relax because of the hotels which are there, and I think we should go because we need to take a small break from researching. What do you say?" Edward told his brother slower this time. Alphonse saw the look on his older brother's face and sighed. They never really went on holidays when they were younger, and Alphonse too was curious to see what this water park would be like.
"Sure," Alphonse approved, earning a grin from Edward, "We should go! Let's also invite Winry with us; I'm sure she'd love it!"
"...Fine," Edward accepted before going to his bedroom to take a nap. He had a long day, and his excitement made him drowsy.
"Hey brother, let's go on this!" Alphonse was shouting to his brother, pointing to a long and winding slide. Edward grinned and together the two brothers ran up to the top to go down it. There wasn't a queue there so they didn't have to wait before sliding down it together. Both brothers shouted and cheered as they saw that inside the slide there were lights in it so they saw colours go right by them as they slid extremely fast down the slide. Without the two of them realising the slide ended abruptly and they were dunked into a huge, deep pool. Both of them swam up to the surface and gasped for breath.
"Brother, this water park is so fun!" Alphonse shouted enthusiastically to Edward. Edward grinned.
"Yeah! Now let's go in the river!"
They both jumped out of the pool they were in and ran over to the near-by river feature. Basically it was like a man-made river, moving currents and all. As soon as they both jumped in they felt they were being pulled down the river. They both swam with the current, and were moving quite fast.
"Hey let's have a race!" Edward shouted. Both of them swam as fast as they could to the next area of the river where you could get out, and Alphonse won the race.
"I beat you brother!" Alphonse laughed, and Edward joined in.
RING RING RING-SMASH!
Edward woke up from his dream with the realisation that he smashed his alarm clock to pieces. As Edward was rubbing out the sleep in his eyes, he thought to the dream he had just had. Everything had just seen so normal and what a holiday with your brother should be like. Edward saw how happy his brother had been in the dream, and he wanted Alphonse to experience a fun holiday with him and their friend.
"We're going to that water park as soon as possible," Edward muttered to himself.
I really hope that you people are enjoying the story so far as much as it's fun to write this!
